The Grafton Apparel Family Is Fighting Cancer In Style By Donating Over $175,000.00
Tip Top Tailors and the Grafton Apparel Family have been proud partners of the Fight To End Cancer since 2014. The teams across Canada have redefined the fight in ways we could only dream of. This year alone, the Grafton teams, including Tip Top Tailors, George Richards and Mr. Big & Tall Menswear, have managed to raise and donate over $175,000 and raised over $235,000 for Fight To End Cancer since launching their ‘Wear Your Support’ Campaign in 2017.
Tip Top Tailors donates their time and formal wear to the Fight To End Cancer campaigns every year. This ensures that our fighters look and feel elegant and strong, during the official campaign photoshoots. This support is a huge part of what makes Fight To End Cancer the momentous event that it is every year.

Grafton Apparel also ran their “Wear Your Support” campaign online and in all of their stores across Canada. The campaign included rounding up amounts at the register and selling their own Fight To End Cancer tie clips for $20 each, with 100% of the sales donated to the cause. These combined efforts enabled the company to exceed their already ambitious goal.
